Product Review

I actually have a special edition with a flamed maple sunburst top and gold hardware, which I think looks better and is also the same price. This thing is a really nice instrument. It's gorgeous looking and, despite being a budget guitar, can get gorgeous tone.

I've got a 15 watt Line 6 digital amp, and it even sounds great through that. The pickups are '57 Classic Alnicos (I don't know what alnico means, but it's good), and can get nice warm jazzy clean tones, wailing electric blues, fuzzy rock, punk, and thick metal. It sounds awesome on the bridge pickup with full midrange and about 3/4 treble, just enough distortion to get fuzzy power chords, and a bit of reverb. I highly recommend this guitar.
